A collaborative effort of Northwestern Memorial Hospital and Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, within the Lurie Cancer Center, the Northwestern Brain Tumor Institute is dedicated to providing state-of-the-art clinical care, along with the resources and support that patients and families need. This requires the services of a multidisciplinary team of experts in brain and spinal disease.
Today, Kathie Romines is a member of the Northwestern Brain Tumor Institute board of directors and its advisory council and an ongoing donor to the Institute. "It's like my child," she says. "It's rewarding to see it grow." Mrs. Romines continues to support brain tumor research because she says it gives hope to other families. She feels that the development of the Institute is a "dream come true," and she hopes another family will be helped by the groundbreaking research being conducted at Northwestern.
